We were treated with a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic before the lights were turned on and the breakfast service started -- again with white tablecloths, real plates, silverware and glasses. For breakfast we had orange juice, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, yogurt and breakfast pastries along with a choice of entrée. I chose the blueberry crepes with vanilla sauce and Mike got the scallion omelette, hash-brown potatoes and bacon.
We landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11:35 AM and had to wait until 3:45 PM to catch our flight to Genoa so we worked our way through the airport, security and immigration to the bus to Terminal G to wait. We found the Air France Lounge in Terminal G which was much nicer and quieter than the main terminal and sat in their nice leather chairs reading and drinking their Coke, water and cappuccino while waiting for our flight. We boarded our HOP commuter flight on time for the nice 1 hour flight to Genoa and our pilot gave us a beautiful scenic view of the coast on landing.
We grabbed a taxi for the short trip into Genoa and checked into our large room at the Hotel Continental. It was only 5:30 PM and very early to eat dinner by Italian standards, but we were starting to get pretty tired so we found a pizza restaurant down the street that was open and had a pizza before going back to our room for a much needed shower after being awake for over 24 hours!
